Pinnaspis Cockerell. 



Only one species occurs within the region covered by this paper 

 and that probably passes as oyster-shell scale. 

 P. buxi (Bouche). pandani. 



Stett. Ent. Zeit, xii, in, 1851. 



Female scale: i-i.5mm. long, brown, varying from light to 

 dark. 



Female: Median lobes of pygidium small and narrow; inner 

 margins entire, approximate, outer margins irregularly notched. 

 Median group of circumgenital gland-orifices, 4; anterior lateral, 

 9-12; posterior lateral, n-13. 



On box, Buxus sempervirens, and a number of greenhouse 

 plants. 



Though not definitely recorded, it probably occurs in 

 Connecticut, and has been recognized in Massachusetts and New 

 York. 



Leucaspis Targioni-Tozzetti. 



Only one species of this genus occurs in our region and this 

 has been discovered here recently. The female scales resemble 

 those of Lepidosaphes though somewhat shorter and broader. 

 The male scales are elongated, whitish but not carinated. 

 L. japonica Cockerell. (PL xv, 3.) 



Psyche, viii, 53, 1897. 



Scale of female: Length 1.5-2 mm., about the same color as 

 bark.

 without carinae.

Greenwich, 8 Dec, 1914; Stamford, 27 Oct., 1914. 



Fiorinia Targioni-Tozzetti. 



Scales of the females in this genus are formed almost wholly 

 of the exuviae, which are terminal ; scales of males resemble those 

 of Chionaspis. A single species is found in our region on green- 

 house plants. 



F. fioriniae (Targioni-Tozzetti). Diaspis fioriniae. Fiorinia 

 camelliae. 



Studii Sul Cocc, 14, 1867.

 or slightly curved, dorsum usually with a high, rounded, dark 

 brown keel or ridge, with sloping parallel sides, more or less
